For example, here's the Calibre Ids field for one of my books:
isbn:9780345453747, amazon:B0043M4ZH0, google:Fu2VnsEW8S0C
That is the correct ASIN, but X-Ray Builder gives a completely different ID number that I cannot locate anywhere in my Calibre metadata. For the book above, I get the following error from X-Ray Builder:
Incorrect ASIN detected: 6e16d066-1505-4eb0-a9fc-82902a4c5698! Kindle may not display an X-Ray for this book. Do you wish to continue?
Any ideas where that crazy ASIN is coming from or how to get things working?

Thanks to everyone in advance for the assist!
The ASIN you're seeing is one inserted by Calibre automatically. Did you use the Quality Check plugin with the "Fix->Fix ASIN for Kindle Fire" option? That should insert the ASIN from your 'amazon' ID.
